A puzzle to the ethnologists Is presented in
the fast expiring race which were the true
predecessors of the japanese all over the
Japan archipelago. The dawn Of history
shows the Amos living far to the south aud
west of their present haunts; and ever since
then, century by century, we see them re-
treating eastward and northward, as steadily
as the American Indian has retreated west
ward under the pressure of the eolonsts from
Europe Their numbers are growing smaller
decade by decade; their industries are passing
into Japanese hands; the animals which were
their principal suStenance are rapidly becom-
ing extinct; the survivors of the people al
most all speak Japanese as well as their own
tongue, and are losing their special character
isticS The race is now no more than a
"curioH to the philOlogist and to the ethnol
ogist. 1t has no future. because it has no
root in the past. The impression left on the
mind after a soiourn among the Amos is that
of a profound melancholy. The existence of
this race has been as aimless, as fruitless, as
is the perpetual dashing of the breakers on
